Wth?
Of course there is a DC solution!
I actually thought about making this kind of RPG thingy and have a fully developed technique to do so... I'm just to lazy to create 50 different chars ^^
The idea is simple: You begin with a basic char (i called him "Adventurer") which is most likely just like a bandit.
At the end of Stage 1 there will be spawned 3 "Upgrades L1" (editing of stage.dat). Each of these upgrades can be "picked up" (they are T0's and react to a special body in adventures punching frames) and make Adventurer to transform into an different char.
These chars can only pick-up "Upgrades L2" which will be spawned in the end of Stage 2 and will again transform into new chars.
This way, you can "upgrade" your char once every Stage and with creating about 50 different chars, you can make one char for everry kombination possible (f.e. a very strong mage if you upgrade 4 times magic, or a balanced char with using 2 Melee, 2 FarFight).
Btw, after being picked up, the upgrade will launch a timer to "kill" all other Upgrades after about 10 seconds (since they are T0's, killing them will end the stage). For the case you're playing with other people this should give enough time for everyone to pick an upgrade.
And since usual AIs will even move to T0's and attack them, you can even choose an AI comrade for Adventurer, he will "attack"=pickup the Upgrades, too.
edit: For the saving thing:
Since every "Level" of char can only pick-up one certain upgrade you can also start with Level 3 chars... but they will still not be able to upgrad before the end of Stage 3 ^^
See, it's possible.... AND NOW MOVE THIS BACK TO DATACHANGING
